Effective Muscle Relaxation

The heat in the stones is effective in enabling the muscles to loosen up and relax. This makes it easier for deep tissue manipulation.

Improves Health Conditions

More and more doctors are beginning to recommend this therapy as part of medical treatment of a lot of health problems such as Arthritis, Fibromylagia, Hypertension and musculoskeletal problems.

Allows Better Sleep

It’s really hard to get a good quality sleep when you’re over fatigued. With the relaxation you get from this therapy, it makes it easier for you to doze off into a deep sleep which your body needs to recuperate from daily fatigue. This is why people who have Insomnia are often advised to get this therapy.

Relieves Pain

Manipulation of muscles can significantly reduce muscle spasm and give comfort to painful muscles so those who suffer from back pains or muscle aches often go for this therapy.

Improves Blood Circulation

Not only does it circulate blood efficiently but also helps in a good flow of energy. The stones are placed on key points of your body known as energy centres which are sometimes clogged or blocked.

Allows Easy Rehabilitation

Massage can facilitate easy recovery from injuries such as sprains.

Releases Toxins

When muscles are massaged, toxins that are clogged within are released. This is why it’s advised that clients drink plenty of water after a session to help flush out those unhealthy and unwanted toxins.

Satisfies Human Longing For Touch

It’s only human to crave for hugs and affection. But since our loved ones are not always within a hug’s reach, having a hot stone massage is a good alternative to suffice this need.

Gives A Happy Feeling

A calming and soothing massage can do wonders in giving you an emotional boost, leaving you with a happier and more positive outlook in life.

Taking a break from work and from life is truly a necessity that most people overlook and take for granted. No, you don’t need to fly and have a vacation every once a week. Just being able to give yourself some down time to unwind and relax is a healthy habit.

I didn't know that a hot stone massage could help with breaking the cycle of not sleeping. I had twins two months ago, and haven't slept since. If they aren't awake, I am sitting there worried about them. A massage is just what I need! At this point I am willing to try just about anything to help get better sleep.
